Same here, but I will do it anyway. Even flying VFR, I can (and have) encounter light rain. More than that, having just sold an airplane, I now know how particular buyers can be about SBs and the like. This one seems pretty easy, but it will have to wait until next time the avionics cover is off.I fly LSA, no IFR, no rain, no problem!
Boy that was close! This SB applies to fuselage kits shipped prior to Dec. 13. I'm picking mine up next week, so won't have to worry about this.
Besides it never rains in the Pacific Northwest!

Jim,
All that means is any kit after that point will have it documented within the KAI (kit assembly instructions)

Sure looks like the simplest way to handle this is the remove the upper fuse skin, apply Boelube and sealant and then reattach. Agree that reaching in through the instrument panels to apply a bead of sealant doesn't look like the best way to do this, but the SB suggests that for flying aircraft.
I thought that was the Pacific Northwet!
Wonder what that would do for a potential buyer???
For those still building, wonder if a thin strip of 3/32? Butyl rubber tape would be a possible good option for sealing the forward edge of the F-1240 upper fuselage skin? Would not have to worry about silicone getting onto the aluminum and the problems that can cause later getting paint to stick properly.
